50 social enterprises. 5 years.

Over the next five years, the Planeterra Foundation will raise $5 Million CAD to integrate 50 new social enterprise projects into G Adventures itineraries by 2020, changing the lives of local people in communities in over 35 countries by providing them with access to the benefits of tourism.

Together, we can create opportunities and change lives through travel.

We have launched over 30 new partnerships since the 50 in 5 Campaign was announced in 2015. As we seek our more partnerships, our upcoming projects are always in need of funding, so please consider making a donation.
